Is anyone researching the Jenkins line? I have a Susan Groves who married a Jenkins from Chatham Co. Ga. Wanda

I am looking for information on Yardrick Williams family. Family oral history says that his farther, Willis Williams, was born in Savannah (1839). Any information would be appreciated.

There was a Thomas West China Shop in Savannah Ga in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. John Thomas West inherited it from his uncle. John Thomas or TJ West was also known as Thomas West. Does anyone have any information or has ever heard of the Thomas West & Company China shop. In order to got back another generation I need to figure out the the father's name of John Thomas West, or the uncle he inherited he store from.

I was very pleased to find several volumes of "Newspaper Clippings of Chatham County, GA" at my local library. They gave me some great new info on my Pournelle Family located there in the early 1800's. I don't have the name of the Abstracter handy. Books from other county were done by Tad Evans of Savannah, but this was a lady whose middle name was Evans - probably his daughter. I'm sure someone on the list can provide her last name. Mary

Tim, I was wondering about this list also. It is a life line to my genealogy study. Thank you for your efforts. Why don't you ask for a roll call? Thanks again, George Searching for: WATSON and SEGURE, Savannah in 1800's.

I have a brick wall I hope someone with access to Savannah records can help me with. I feel certain, my Thomas BECKHAM b. 1797 who can be found in Wayne and Glynn Counties Georgia was the son of Dempsey Beckham who died in Savannah, Ga 1818 on Colonel Martial's Plantation. He was an overseer. Does anyone have access to the probate records of that time? Perhaps a deed was written to Thomas or any information on Colonel Martial? This is basically I have have on Dempsey other than he was the son of Thomas Beckham SR of Edgefield SC. Sharon Broward Davis

First just checking to see if this list is alive since the last post I have is from 10/1. Second new queries have been added to the Chatham County site - http://www.rootsweb.com/~gachatha/queries.htm Third, new updates to the 1868 history should go online some time this week.

Dear Listmembers, We are in the process of a HUGE move from one country to the next, and I just wanted to drop you all a note to say Goodbye. It'll probably be a while before I'm able to hop back online again. If any of you need to reach me you can contact me at the following address. GwendytheDigger@yahoo.com I hope to get back to all of you pretty soon, but fair well until then! Hugs Wendy L. Mayfield

Take care Wendy... TTFN, George

Jessica died in Savannah in April of 1981. Does anyone there know of her? Susan Marshall

I know it's a long shot, but I am looking for a current address for Bonnie Avant Kirby who was living in Savannah in 1971. Please feel free to pass along my email address so she can contact me regarding family history. Barry Fox bfox@charter.net

New queries have been added to the Chatham County query page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gachatha/queries.htm See if you can help these folks, or perhaps find some connections yourself. Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net Chattanooga, TN

>From the Historical Collections of Georgia page 302: "This county forms the southeast corner of the State. It is a portion of what was once called Savannah County, for in 1741, by order of the Trustees, the Colony of Georgia was divided into two counties, one of which was called Savannah, embracing all the territory north of Darien. It was laid out in 1758 into St. Philip's and Christ Church Parishes, and Christ Church and a part of St. Philip's were formed into the County of Chatham, which name was given in honour of the celebrated Earl of Chatham."

Im researching any pictures of Margaret Jones (1823-1901) JP genealogy website: http://www.ancestry-web.com/

I have found a new lead on my Miller research, and I am trying to trace it down. My cousin had a copy of a photo of Henry Philip Miller (1844 to 1916), one of the GA Hussars. This was in some things of her parents. She and I descend from Andrew J. Miller who used to own the furniture on Broughton St. We have had no luck in locating his parents. He was born in PA and moved to Savannah abt 1850. His brother, Samuel also moved to Savannah abt 1847, and lived in Thunderbolt. I looked up Henry P. Miller in the IGI and gound that he was the son of Jacob and Caroline Miller. I think Jacob may be buried in Bonaventure, very near the Samuel Miller plot. Henry died in Baldwin Co. on Feb 16, 1916. Can anyone on the list tell me anything about Henry and his family: Husband Jacob Miller    Pedigree     Birth:  1791    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Marriage:     Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------Wife Caroline    Pedigree     Birth:  1810    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Marriage:     Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------Children ------------------------------------------------------------------------1.      James Miller    Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1835    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------2.      Elizabeth Miller    Pedigree     Female        Birth:  1840    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------3.      Thomas P Miller Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1841    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------4.      Virginia Miller Pedigree     Female        Birth:  1843    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------5.      Henry P Miller  Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1844    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------6.      William J Miller    Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1846    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------7.      Charles J Miller    Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1848    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:         ------------------------------------------------------------------------8.      George M Miller Pedigree     Male          Birth:  1850    Savannah, Chatham, Georgia Christening:      Death:    Burial:  Susan Marshall

Hey Virginia! I have the book and a better way would be to scan the book and put that on the Liberty County web site. Your thoughts? Mr. May's book has been a valuable resource for me, right next to my Bonaventure Cemetery book (sections A-H).

The majority of my ancestors and relatives are listed in the Effingham County Cemeteries book, not the Ft. Stewart Cemeteries book by Mr. May. I have the Effingham County Cemeteries book as well as the Ft. Stewart Cemeteries book and confused the two of them.
